For what it's worth , I do think we will sign Belotti and I am 100% fine with him coming in. 

Agree with you on Rui Costa himself though

To have someone like him come off the bench in the later stages of a match is great. Also, in games vs smaller Serie A sides that defend deep, his 1v1 ability in tight spaces would be welcome. He is a weapon if used correctly. 

But let's not kid ourselves...at the CL level pace and dynamics, he can't cut it. At least not anymore. Football at the top level is direct, vertical, fast. You need to reach the attacking 3rd in just a few seconds and with just 4-5 passes. Anything more then that, and the game is slowed down. You can still create, but it becomes difficult as these days all teams require that all 10 players defend. If you can get there before all those players get in defensive mode/shape, you're gonna tear teams up. If we want to compete on the CL stage, this is the football we need to be capable of playing. Ilicic can not fit in that style. But he can surely be helpful in many games as an impact player, as I said. And then yes, he can definitely start in Serie A games where we play against deep defensive lines.

Donnarumma is finally gone and I say good riddance

100%


Yep. He can easily tell Raiola to jump and just sign a deal without him. BUT he chooses not to. 


The only offer we should make is to show him the door.

I’m surprised. I really expected him to stay but am happy it is all over with.

So how did Everton fair ? I know we had several links to him when he was at Gremio.
Any gems Maldini should be considering?

That would mean no RDP too, I think fatty is his agent.
